Website Woes
So today, I randomly decided to look again. And I found this
http://www.a4c.com/product/apple-ipod-t ... ished.html
So my question is, does this look like a reputable site? Would I be making a safe purchase?

I have an iPod Touch 4 and a Sandisk Sansa Clip+. The Sansa is still the one I go to, it has a battery that lasts for ages and it just plays music, nothing fancy (so it never gets "out of date"). And it's tiny.

I have dropped it in oil, ran over it with my car ( I don't have a protector ) , it has fallen off the man lift at my previous job which was extended about 2.5 stories, and landed on gravel, sure they may be bulkier and heavier but they are way more durable.
however I would not buy refurbished ever, so in that respect the 5 wins.

In that case, it was a mistake on my part for leaving things out of the topic. Yes, i would like it to be multi-purpose, but have that capability. I'm not defending anything, nor do I have anything to defend. My apologies for the miscommunication.

The site LOOKS good but.......after digging a bit http://www.resellerratings.com/store/A4c_com http://www.bbb.org/new-york-city/busine ... asonrating They are not accredited by the BBB either, be wary.

If it was me I'd hold off a little longer if you can and see if Apple get them back in stock. You at least know that way it's been refurbed by the right people and you know where it's coming from, and their aftercare is pretty great.

I would question why they are selling a refurbished item at 60% of what the manufacturer is selling the same refurbished item. Proceed with caution.
